Also time and again people are spotted burning plastic waste, emitting hazardous smoke which can cause serious health problems when inhaled. Not only that, Nepal’s rivers and mountains are filled with piles of plastic garbage, depleting the country’s natural beauty and is a threat to wildlife. To tackle this problem, Jain Trading Concern, a Kathmandu based trading company, has recently introduced biodegradable products under Clean Nepal 2021 project that degrade within 180 days of landfill and are made with sustainable ingredients, keeping our environment and climate change issues in consideration.
